Well equipped, clean and comfortable house. Just like home from home in a great location. Our visit was sadly only for 3 nights - but we made the most of it and included a visit to the top of Portland lighthouse - where we had amazing views! We thoroughly recommend this house! Many thanks Suzanne!

Great base for exploring Dorset coast

Nice, very quiet end of terrace home in a lovely location. We enjoyed the Portland / Wyke experience and the friendly locals. Recommend The Cove for a very tasty meal and pint, and Flavours of Asia for Indian takeaway. Both really excellent. The house had everything we needed and was very comfortable. Would recommend for a couple or a small family

Lovely clean, comfortable cottage with everything you need. Was quiet during our stay, with friendly neighbours. View of sea from bedroom and walking distance to Chesil Beach, but also close to Weymouth Beach. Perfect base to explore other areas such as Bridport, West Bay and Lyme Regis.
